IT’S BAD NEWS FOR BAD GUYS… AGAIN.

Did you actually think that little Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) was done beating up defenseless burglars? Well, he is in fact, because there’s a new kid on the block.

The third movie in the series introduced a new family and eight-year-old, but the already stale concept remains the same.

The thieves being more technically advanced in their search for a precious computer chip doesn’t seem to inspire anything original in the screenplay; the new kid, Alex Linz, is all right though as a Culkin clone. 

1997-U.S. 102 min. Color. Directed by Raja Gosnell. Screenplay: John Hughes. Cast: Alex D. Linz (Alex Pruitt), Olek Krupa (Petr Beaupre), Rya Kihlstedt (Alice Ribbons), Lenny von Dohlen, David Thornton, Haviland Morris, Scarlett Johansson. 

Trivia: Co-produced by Hughes. Followed by the TV movie Home Alone 4 (2002).
